I had an interesting observation a few days back.  An audio guy I know personally wary well, was involved in a debate at one of the audio forums about “natural” sounding playback. They were trying to argue what make a playback more or less “natural”. Well, a reasonable conversation.  What was however interesting is that the debate was among the people who use audio expressive tools in a very limited way: they buy expensive audio, bring it home, hear the result and then draw concussions upon of what they experience. I think the way in wish they practice audio does not allow them grasp the control of the subject. 

You might buy and bring home different versions of salmon, grill it and then make conclusion of which salmon is tastier. That would be legitimate. However, the audio neutrality derives from many factors with 2 keystone factors: a very delicate level of upper bass and lower HF. The delicacy of that balance is very important but “bought audio” very frequently does not allow to tune this balance.  So, those guys have random equipment in random rooms deliver more or less random results and then we have the audiences of that random result argue what is neutral.
